Whaaaaat! So you would rather have £10k in the sixties/seventies, than £10million now? Or the same?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Ten grand in the sixties would probably buy a decent suburban house with maybe a couple of grand to pay for a washing machine, a colour TV and some furniture.
As for 10 million.........
And you never answered my point about fighters getting exploited more in them days.
Come on @Master, get fucking real will ya!
Yes they were exploited but now TV companies and Promoters are getting their share of the PPV and all of them perpetuate PPV because it brings in disproportionate and excessive amount of money that they would not normally make because they have made fans believe it is normal and acceptable.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
But before ppv, promoters and TV companies were taking virtually all of the money, albeit a smaller pot.
I'm no fan of the ridiculous PPV worthy fights that are made, but
A. At least the fighters are getting better taken care of. And I don't just mean money. Medical care, safety, etc. and
B. What can we do about it? The only thing is boycott them and turn your back on it. But what do you do? For example, You talk about Floyd more than anyone! This makes him relevant
and although you may not buy his fights , the guy you are arguing with will! And other people will see the debate and think "I'm gonna have to watch this to see how it pans out!"
So there you have it @Master, it's all YOUR FUCKING FAULT!!! 😎
I think you hit the nail on the head right there... a point that wasn't addressed in the response. What good is the disproportionate and obscene amounts of money Floyd makes, for example, if Joe Blow still gets paid relatively peanuts and is at the same risk of neglect medically-wise as his counterparts from back in the day (before PPV). Now..... if PPV money were divvied up to the point where some of it was going to some fund for the less fortunate boxers and former boxers, ok then we'd be talking. But no. All PPV does is make multi-millionaires of a handful, while totally ignoring the rest of boxing needs. I'm with you, @Master . PPV is evil.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Bigger man George, bigger punch!
